特定相互作用下Polymer熔体玻璃形成的广义熵理论

Generalized Entropy Theory of Glass Formation in Polymer Melts with Specific Interactions

Wen-Sheng Xu, Karl F. Freed

摘要:

化学结构长期以来一直被认为对聚合物玻璃的形成有很大的影响,但是预测化学结构如何决定玻璃形成聚合物性质的一般分子理论发展缓慢。虽然广义熵理论(GET)解释了各种分子细节对聚合物玻璃形成的影响,但GET的应用迄今为止仅限于使用最简单的聚合物模型,其中物质的单体内的所有联合原子基团与共同的单体平均范德华能相互作用。然而,充满活力的不均匀性是普遍存在的单体中的真正的聚合物,它们的影响聚合物玻璃的形成仍有待于理论研究。本文使用的GET的扩展,探讨单体内的能量不均匀性的影响后的聚合物玻璃形成的性质。本论文的重点是建立一般趋势的玻璃形成的特征性质的变化,如等压脆性参数$m_P$和玻璃化转变温度$T_g$,与分子的细节,如特定的相互作用和链刚度。我们的计算证实,以前使用的模型与单体平均的相互作用正确地捕捉一般趋势的变化$m_P$和$T_g$与各种分子参数。更重要的是,调整单体内的能量不均匀性单独显示为定制玻璃形成聚合物的性质提供了有效的机制。沿等脆性和iso- $T_g$线的聚合物性能的变化被示出为重要的设计工具,用于表现出特定的相互作用和链刚度的综合影响。

英文摘要:

Chemical structure has been long recognized to greatly influence polymer glass formation, but a general molecular theory that predicts how chemical structure determines the properties of glass-forming polymers has been slow to develop. While the generalized entropy theory (GET) explains the influence of various molecular details on polymer glass formation, the application of the GET has heretofore been limited to the use of the simplest polymer model in which all united atom groups within the monomers of a species interact with a common monomer averaged van der Waals energy. However, energetic heterogeneities are ubiquitous within the monomers of real polymers, and their implications for polymer glass formation remain to be investigated theoretically. This paper uses an extension of the GET to explore the influence of energetic heterogeneities within monomers upon the nature of polymer glass formation. The present paper focuses on establishing general trends for the variation of characteristic properties of glass formation, such as the isobaric fragility parameter $m_P$ and the glass transition temperature $T_g$, with molecular details, such as the specific interactions and chain stiffness. Our computations confirm that the previously used model with monomer averaged interactions correctly captures general trends in the variation of $m_P$ and $T_g$ with various molecular parameters. More importantly, adjustment of the energetic heterogeneities within monomers alone are shown to provide an efficient mechanism for tailoring the properties of glass-forming polymers. The variations of polymer properties along iso-fragility and iso-$T_g$ lines are illustrated as important design tools for exhibiting the combined influence of specific interactions and chain stiffness.
